The plan is based on the principle that almost all road deaths and injuries are preventable and lives and health should not be compromised by mobility.
The plan says fear of injury currently deters many people from making sustainable travel choices, and says figures from 2013 show that 55% of people killed and injured on Bristol’s roads were pedestrians and cyclists.
The plan includes the following six action points:
• Working with partners to reduce the cost of public transport, enhance travel information and encourage more reliable public transport choices.
• Continuing to improve the city’s cycle network towards best European standards.
• Reducing emissions to help protect people from the harm caused by poor air quality.
• Removing the “blight of commuter congestion” and improving flows for public transport and those who need to drive.
• Promoting walking and cycling as safe, pleasant and convenient alternatives to the car.
• Continuing improvements to layouts to create civilised spaces and people friendly streets with an emphasis on safety for children.
